I think Harden has been a bit more consistent this year. Tmac had an off game now and then. But tmac was the better defender. I remember a couple of games they put him on the other team's best player (Kobe), I could imagine doing that with Harden. So I would give it to tmac, but just barely. I think Harden will have more success in the playoffs tho.

Tmac was at a different stage in his career. He had already had multiple All-NBA seasons, had dealt with significant injuries and was on a brand new team that was learning how to play together. By playoffs, Tmac was at a level I've rarely seen, particularly given his defensive versatility.
